As the year wraps up Bandai releases a slew of High Grades from Iron-Blooded Orphans so Syd recruits a wide-eyed Todd to help him out. The 1/100 Barbatos is all armored up and gets a review in this episode, as well!

Well I am glad I at least won the hi mach, Sorry Syd and Ryan Get to see SW:TFA on monday 12/14/15 at the premiere also please bring the girls back because Todd seems like a nice guy but not a good on camera fit. For Ryan SW BF just practice and play the campaign to get better then smaller battles.

Syd & Ryan, Bros for life! Star Wars jacket x2 & same color as well. Hope next week’s episode won’t be too short as its only a day before Force Awaken and you two will be too hype to film. Enjoy the movie.

The gimmick of 1/100 Barbatos’s gun is really unique.. first time seeing that. Worth the price for a NG kit with an inner frame.
I have yet to try a PG but I would like my first PG to be a PG Ball. Please Bandai, make a PG Ball! Thanks.

Have you ever built the MG Ball? (Either the Ver. Ka or the 08th MS Team Ver.) It absolutely blows most other MGs out of the water, even the most complicated modern ones, in terms of detail and color separation. It also makes for a great sturdy toy, and it’s super cheap to boot.

Well, I’ve ordered the banshee and the led (despite how bad I think I am at building). I was torn between the unicorn and the banshee. Made me went back to go watch the entire series again to gauge how I feel about each one.

What finally pushed me over to the banshee is because I would have lusted over the p-Bandai final battle unicorn more if I got the unicorn.

Thanks for the episode guys. Looking forward to the IBO kit reviews next week.

Great Episode Guys, as always of course, never a doubt ;). I really hope I win that Mk. III that would be my first RE kit, I’ve been wanting to get them, but I’ve got too much backlog as is to justify buying them atm. Although I’d make an exception to that if Bandai would kindly bring out an RE/100 NZ-000 Queen Mansa (aka Quin Mantha)!!!

Hey guys, great show! (and good luck to Todd) – my question is: If you had to choose between two Dark Side powers, would you choose Sith Lightning or Force Choke? Hope you guys enjoy yourselves in the movies.

Tip for Ryan. People tend to think FPS games are all impulse but strategy is a vital part. Learn the map, learn the attack and defense patterns, and learn the sniper nests. Being one step ahead mentally beats having better reaction speed. It might be a game but The Art of War by Sun Tzu is applicable.

Note: Wish to opt out of this giveaway, please choose another if my number comes up.

About the Hi_Res Barbatos, I’ve heard that the inner frame is pre-assembled. If this is true, it will be a big disapointment, thus I ordered the 1/100 NG Barbatos just in case. Also, if your going to do something with the V2 gundam, please do a what inside of the new Zoids death stinger that is supposed to be available on Dec. 24th.

Hell yes 2016 will be an amazing year for movies – Cap America 3, BvS, Deadpool movie ( this is gonna be awesome) and X-men Apocalypse..prbly more that I can`t remember right now, but either way …my eyes will burn out from going to the cinema too much lol

mk-ii is my favorite design but i’d like to have a go at that mk-iii! happy holidays guys!

@ryan, what’s your play style on your star wars game? it might be helpful for advice from other gamers. one important thing though is to always use cover to your advantage and not rush forward and go rambo gung-ho lol always kills me in FPS games…

Hiho 😀 i cant wait for the Hi-Res Barbatos and Ted is a little bit scary 😀 like me …dont get between me and my gundam !! ^^ like too see him often in this great show of yours. keep up this nice work greeting from germany…with bradtwurst express 😀

The Gusion is supposed to use the same Gundam Frame as the Barbatos so it will be interesting to see how Bandai translate this aspect of the suit into the actual model. I would have thought we’d need to wait for the 1/100 Gusion scheduled for release next year, but we were all surprised by the inner frame of the 1/144 Barbatos.

I’m a fan of the RE/100 kits, already have the Mk iii & Dijeh & I will get like 10 of the Leo if it’s made but I’m just not feeling the 1/100 NG Barbatos . I love the design and the anime is fun too but the NG just doesn’t look sharp enough. I also noticed that it looked very weak and unbalanced.

Battlefront’s problem is that the damn shitheads at EA thought it’d be nice to not have local servers. They did it in beta and took it out at launch. I asked for a refund a few weeks back and to be honest, I’m glad I did. The beta was so much better. They ruined it

90% of the people who play Battlefront have struggles and complaints with it.

I am slowly getting better. The best thing is adjust your loadout and star cards to your play style. I like to go back-and-forth between a more aggressive run and gun style to playing that mid-back line support roll. I either use the EE-3 or the RT-97C primarily. As for star cards I prefer the Impact grenade, explosive shot and the jump pack. That jump pack is so useful to either get you into the thick of things or out of it.

wake up to a new episode and there is already about a hundred comments. i love watching you guys and look forward to this. are you going back to having a schedule yet? love the hoodies by the way, and no spoiling it for us

…hi syd and ryan, speaking of star wars i think it will be available on 17th here in the philippines but dont worry i wont give spoilers after i watched it ahahhahahahaha… the barbatos looks amaizing but the gushion also catch my attention aftrr i wathced episode 11 of the ibo…

Hey guys, great episode. I have a feeling the hi-res kit(s?) may be to the 1/100 scale what the RGs are for the 1/144 scale. Adding a bit more detail and possibly quality as well. Looking forward to it. And Star Wars of course!

Now i am even more Hyped for my 1/100 Barbatos that my friend got me for christmas from you guys, I got him the Origin’s Char’s Zuku to complete his collection of Origin’s MS and as i am collecting IBO series right now. I didn’t notice it in your last two video’s but does the NG have a cockpit gimmick? I really like that about the MG series. And maybe if Santa is nice to me this year money wise i will be able to finally get me a PG MS, or maybe just let me win one of your giveaways, either way i will be happy. Great Show as usual, can’t wait for the next one, and the plot of Star wars is…. lol just kidding.

I hope you guys get the 1/100 Graze on the show. I also hope it’s as good as the Barbatos; you don’t get many grunt suits in 1/100 scale. The last good 1/100 scale grunts we got were back in the Gundam 00 lines.

The NG Barbatos is somewhat disappointing. All the more reason to wait for the the Hi-res version or the eventual MG. I want to get a PG soon but my problem is I want to paint it so that it will look its best which means more money to be spent 🙁

i did not expect the NG got the cannon gimmicks at all, that’s nice. I’m hyped for the V2 Ver.Ka and i am waiting for the next MG announcement from Bandai, i hope they will suprise us (in a good way). Nice show guys, love it.

I honestly not quite understand Bandai politics on master grades. They put so much effort in producing Barbatos in pretty much any form… except MG. I bet making this new Hi-Resolutin Model will cost a lot more than MG because it’s basically action figure with attachable armor. It looks rather nice and everything, yet…

Great show. Can’t wait to see the IBO long-distance transportation booster review. Do you think that this will eventually be released in a 1/100 scale or will it only be a 1/144 HG release similar to the likes of the Meteor Unit from Gundam Seed and the GP03 Dendrobium because of its would be size?

I know that I am a little late to the discussion but I would chose the 3.0 version of the RX78-2 simply because I love the level of detail on that kit and it also happens to be the first RX78-2 kit that I have built.

Speaking of the RE 1/100, I’m hoping to see the Re 1/100 Kshatriya in 2016 but it would be awesome to win the RE Gundam MK-||| in the meantime ^_^

This is the first time I’ve actually seen your show, and it’s really great! And the Star Wars hype is very real XD dig the hoodies! I recently got into gunpla a few months back, and I’m enjoying it a lot so far even on a tight budget XD I really can’t wait for the Gusion to come out! I like the bulky, turtle-frog(?) look to it! 😀

The RE MkIII looks really cool. I bet it looks amazing in person!
I haven’t heard of the REs before, but looking through the line they have, the Dijeh looks pretty amazing too!

Ryan, didn’t order the LEDs for the PG Unicorn and Banshee because…wait for it…I got the LEDs when the were in stock before haha. Just needed to wait for the kits to restock. side note, too bad HLJ doesn’t do P-Bandai stuff, but I did also get the PG Full Armor Expansion for the Unicorn and the Armed Armour BS & VN for the Banshee.

I plan on ordering the 1/100 Barbatos, IBO Gusion+ Man Rodi within the next week or so. I might even start getting some MG kits including the Zaku II and Gouf Custom. What other MG kits would you suggest?

So is the High Resolution Barbatos simply going to be another plastic model using metallic-plated plastic? I was under the impression that the frame would be pre-assembled and utilize diecast metal along with plastic, and the armor would come on plated runners?

Thanks Darth Syd and Darth Ryan for this episode, the kit I really like to have this coming christmas is the MG RX-78-2 Origin ver. hehe just posting. Advance Merry Christmas both of you and the rest of HLJ.

Awsome episode!
The Barbatos looks good, but some how it just feel too naked to me.
Maybe I’m more into the traditional armored mech type of models while Barbatos just too skeleton-ish.
Anyway hope I can win one of those give aways!

Lol the sweaters. In regards to not sucking so much, the biggest problem my brother has when playing is he gets too close, i mean he just gets so close its utterly ridiculous you have a gun, a blaster rifle at that, stand back dont walk closer shoot from a distance thats what guns are for!.
Anyways you guys are sooooooo lucky to work at Hlj, if i had the cash id be buying Gundam’s left right and center, but no matter how Much I want the PG’s if i dont have the money i cant get em. The 1/100 Barbatos looks really cartoonish, and Plasticky, i’ll just wait for an MG.

IBO designs seem to emphasize function over form, so they’re more basic and more functional than previous kits. This is a huge contrast with what we saw in ‘Build Fighters,’ with all the over-the-top anime style, weapons, and effects. IBO even uses bullets and other physical weapons rather than beam weapons.

I’ve wanted a gundam for over 15 years but other things sapped my resources (damn kiss ?). I’ve finally jumped in at the deep end and ordered a PG red Astay. It looks awesome and I can’t wait to build it I just hope I don’t break it.

Another great episode guys. The 1/100 Barbatos looks great might pick it up in the new year. I really want the PG Unicorn with the lighting set but will wait until I have more skill at the hobby as I’m still pretty noobish at it. Also I know you show newly released kits on the show but would it be possible for you to feature older kits. Thanks.

I cant wait to see the v2 ver ka in person some day, though with all of those separating parts and the lament of those core fighter mobile suit kits being fragile, how does the v2 hold out? Not expecting to win any prizes :,(
